Li Xiaomian looked at him, frowned and asked: "You want to be my senior brother, do you have a crush on Lie Yan? Are you really as good as Long Yang?"
"Cough cough cough"
Zhao Qifan was caught by his own saliva. He looked at Xiao Mian in disbelief.
This child is young, what is he thinking about?
Li Xiaomian stared into his eyes.
She had to make sure whether this guy really meant that to Lie Yan.
"I'm not as good as Long Yang."
Zhao Qifan met Xiao Mian's gaze and gritted his teeth.
"I don't like men, I like women. Don't worry, I already have someone in my heart. Lie Yan is not my type."
He didn't know why he had to explain it so clearly, but he just wanted to explain it.
He didn't want this little girl to misunderstand anything.
Li Xiaomian stared into his eyes to make sure that he was not lying, and then she spoke out.
"Then why are you pestering Lie Yan?"
Zhao Qifan smiled bitterly: "I...I think he has good martial arts skills, don't you want to make friends with him?"
He also wanted to know why.
It was as if the child had an aura about him, as if they had known each other for thousands of years.
He just felt like he wanted to get close to Lie Yan and get to know him. As if they should be relatives.
Just like this girl, with just one glance, he couldn't help but run over.
But he couldn't say this. If he did, this girl would probably have a deeper misunderstanding.
Li Xiaomian thought for a while, and it seemed that Lie Yan had really misunderstood.
"When Lie Yan comes back, I will talk to him and ask him to apologize to His Highness."
Zhao Qifan glanced at Xiaomian, there was nothing wrong with his words, but it sounded a bit...
It's like two children fighting, and then meeting their parents. Their parents like to say this.
"No, I'll come visit Junior Sister another day."
Zhao Qifan felt that he couldn't stay any longer. That's it for today, so let's get over it.
Zhao Qifan came and went without a trace.
After the people left, the Li sisters gathered around one after another.
Damai asked worriedly: "This person doesn't want to use you to blackmail your senior brother, does he?"
Xiaodao was also very worried: "Is this the prince? It's really scary. What does he want to do?"
Moreover, it seems that the prince’s hair cannot be pulled back, right?
What if he bullies the second sister?
Li Xiaodao was grinding his fingernails, thinking that he couldn't pull out his hair, so could he pinch him?
Xiao Sanshun nodded like a fool. It was so scary and shameless, so Brother Xue Yan called her Second Sister and Junior Sister.
Xiao Mian reassured: "It's okay, this prince just wants to be on good terms with Lie Yan."
Xiaodao thought for a while and suddenly said: "I understand. He wants to win over the Protectorate."
Xiaomian nodded: "It's possible."
In the afternoon, Li Benshan drove the carriage and came back with Mrs. Song and Mrs. Li. He also brought several people, large and small, with him.
The sisters looked at each other and understood that these people might be the servants purchased by the family.
Sure enough, Mrs. Song ordered: "Get these clothes, take a shower and change into them, then come and recognize me."
When these people went down, Li Benshan said happily: "Our family bought a big farm, a big farm with 500 acres."
Damai asked in surprise: "Second uncle, how big is five hundred acres?"
Li Benshan said proudly: "We have half the land of our village."
"Wow, then isn't our family the landlord?"
"Well, we are the landlords now."
The uncle and nephew were very happy to become a landlord's family.
Mrs. Song and Mrs. Li went to buy someone, and they agreed that they should buy someone who had been trained, preferably an old man from the capital, who could give some advice to country bumpkins like them.
In the end, they went to Guanya Store, and the two of them brought back two country bumpkins.
One family is from northern Xinjiang, their surname is Cheng, and the man's name is Cheng Mancang. Their family lives near Heishantou. They have been fleeing the war because of the war. Later, in order to provide medical treatment for the elderly at home, the second son's family sold themselves and left the money and the elderly to the family.
My eldest brother.
There are five members of this family, a couple and three children, two boys and a girl of six or seven years old.
There was another family named Lu, who was originally a wealthy family and ran a small business. As a result, the shop burned down, they were forced to pay debts, and they were forced to become slaves.
There are seven people in this family. An old man who is almost sixty years old, a middle-aged couple, a twenty-year-old lame young man, a naive boy, and a ten-year-old girl.
This young man is not only lame, but also disfigured.
Although it is not scary, the scars left by burns are still difficult to look at.
The young man also has a four or five-year-old son who is skinny and looks a bit like his mistress the year before last.
Li Xiaomian thought that it might be this child that allowed the Song family to keep this family.
Sister-in-law Cheng and Aunt Lu took over the kitchen duties.
Old Man Lu is in charge of the concierge's work.
Li Xiaomian looked at the trembling old man and doubted whether he was qualified for this job.
Lu Yong, the disfigured young man, knew how to read, so Li Benshan asked him and Lu Wei, his silly brother, to go to the village to look after the banker.
There are people from Zhuangtou in Zhuangzi, and the two of them went there mainly to help collect some chili roots and other raw materials for refining frostbite ointment.
Lie Yan has already said that Northern Xinjiang needs a lot of frostbite cream.
As for Cheng Mancang and Lu Shiliang, one was responsible for driving the carriage and the other followed Li Benshan.
Cheng Mancang's two sons, one thirteen and one ten years old, happened to be following Dazhu and Erwang. They were given new names: Liping and Lixin.
With the first wave of servants, the family got used to it for two days, and Mrs. Song and Mrs. Li successively bought a few more girls and two mothers-in-law.
Suddenly there were more people in the house, and Sister Xiaomian also had her first servant girl.
Lie Yan has been busy with the family's spring search activities these past two days.
Spring hunting is actually a spring hunting activity.
Because everything revives in spring, most animals are pregnant. Pregnant animals cannot be hunted, and infertile ones must be searched for.
As a home of military commanders, there are hunting activities all year round. In Lie Yan's words, it is an experience.
Sometimes it's hunting, sometimes it's suppressing bandits. Sometimes it's just going to northern Xinjiang to guard the border.
So he didn't come for a few days. Today he was shocked when he walked in the door and thought he had gone to the wrong place.
He was a quiet person, and he couldn't help but frown when he saw the commotion in the yard.
Li Xiaomian smiled and said: "My mother and second aunt have tried their best. After all, it is the first time to lead so many people, so there will inevitably be unexpected things."
Lie Yan shook his head, "This won't work. Has Xiaomian ever thought about training them in a militarized manner?"
Xiao Mian said in a funny way: "No, my mother and my second aunt have been farmers for half their lives, and they are used to family feuding. Let them get used to it slowly. They will find the family rules that suit the Li family."
Under military management, everyone in the family strictly enforces orders and prohibitions. I'm afraid my mother and my second aunt are not used to it.
Lie Yan smiled, but I'm afraid his family's style is not suitable for the Li family.
"I'm here today to help Xiao Qi send invitations to Third Sister."
It turned out that Lie Tinglan had made an agreement with Xiaodao to take her to the spring appreciation banquet at the house of the Minister of Rites.
Xiaodao accepted the invitation and went to make arrangements without mentioning it.
Here, Lie Yan invited Xiao Mian, "We will go to Beitahang for training the day after tomorrow. Do you want to go with us?"
Experience!
Xiaomian was a little eager to try.
She is now at the second level of the Qi training stage and has no problem protecting herself.
"Go, there are a lot of good things in the mountains in spring, it's good to fill up the space." Lie Yan followed the instructions.
